I can confirm that "pkg_delete -x kde" will try to remove those files many times over, which generates benign warnings that the package packing list was incorrectly specified, but otherwise seems to work as expected. I would be happy to see just a single port responsible for the creation and deletion of that directory hierarchy, but, failing that, can't the individual ports be made smart enough to notice whether or not they created a path and generate a correct packing list dynamicly? -- -Chuck
